Location was great, huge apartment, great terrace with view, AC worked well. Cozy and comfortable. Host was super responsive to any questions/concerns. Also provided great local recommendations.
Portofino was beautiful and lived up to expectations.
Portofino was beautiful and lived up to expectations. However, it is tiny and the weather was not great which limits what there is to do. Two nights rather than three would have been enough.
Also it really is expensive. Not a place to go if you are on a budget.
My husband and son had brilliant food - particularly DaV Mere - but they love fish and seafood. Not great for vegetarians.

We enjoyed walking and getting around but Portofino is really small so don't spend more than one night there. I was expecting more people to be around but it was really empty after the sunset. People come in boats to know the harbour but they don't stay around after so it's very quiet (at least in April when I went). There aren't that many options for good food but the restaurant "Trattoria Tripoli" was a highlight of our stay in Portofino. Probably the best Frutti di mare spaghetti I have had in my life!

Portofino had been on the bucket list for some time so the expectations were high.... and so they were met ! A very very nice little village on the cost with all typical medditerrainian stuf. 1 day should be enough to cover it as a small place. Can recommend to travel here off season as no crowds and safe to move around. The Restaurants might seem a bit expencive but then they are good !

Portofino might have been a lovely place in the 60s - today it is a poor cartoon of a fisherman's village. Ridiculously overpriced (2 spritz + 0.5l water 33€) but still overcrowded. Seems there are a lot of people, that hope some of the yacht owners wealth will be shared with them if they get close...

Portofino is a hipe and we wanted to go there once, but unless COVID it was too much overcrowded.
It is a very small village around a harbour. Lovely with a lot of high fashion boutiques and restaurants along the harbor.
During July 2020 a lot of shops were closed but most restaurants were open - although only the once with the best rating on google and tripadviser were full, so we were glad to have a reservation.
the light at sunset is beautiful too - but if it does not have to be Portofino - there are other small beautiful fisher villages which are not so famous and expensive.
This is a five star location right on the harbor in the center of the promenade. you can’t get better if you want to be in the center of everything in Portofino with access to the water taxi, nature hiking trails, and 30 minute walk to a beautiful swimming beach and water activities// kayak and paddle board rentals if that is your thing. the apartment is well equipped for cooking simple meals and coffee— emphasis on simple because the oven and cooktop are dicey.
Albergo Nationale is a good stay in Portofino if you dont want to break the bank account but still be in the mids of all the fun! Its a small and pleasant hotel with normal facilities but you wont need much more if your in Portofino for a weekend break or just passing by. I would repeat my stay. windows are over the main plaza if you manage to get one of these rooms and those are really worth it! Good air con too.
The property is right at the heart of Portofino. Don’t look away if you want something that is close to anything and you everything. It was clean and came with basic amenities.
The owner was very very helpful and was always reachable on phone .
The cooker are quite good and Utensils provided . Also comes with a very decent internet connection. The view from the balcony is amazing too.
The breakfast was first class. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. The restaurant on the terrace was very good.
There was a private terrace for hotel guests above the public beach area across the road. Good for swimming or sunning and a drink!
The five minute walk to the main Portofino marina area was surrounded by greenery and very enjoyable.
The hotel's location is fantastic! We will definitely return. The food was outstanding, and the staff were incredibly friendly. It's a great spot for both hiking and swimming. It feels like a hidden gem away from the hustle and bustle of tourists and the pricey Portofino atmosphere. We had an absolute blast during our stay, and it was a truly dreamy experience.
The location is great it’s just over the main square and restaurants of Portofino! The apartment is small but clean and cosy and was perfect for what we needed. We didn’t use the terrace but it’s a very nice place to hang out after a long day if you visit in the warmer months! The check in process was very easy using the lockbox key and we had no issues.
Excellent communication & the apartment was huge! They even had breakfast items in the refrigerator for us. The kitchen was very well stocked with all the amenities you would need.The two very large bathrooms were stocked with toothbrushes, toothpaste, soaps & shampoos. The view from the balcony is probably one of the best from an apartment in Portofino!
The welcome and staff hospitality is excellent, the hotel is well presented and very new following a recent refit.
Location to Portofino centre excellent, we also used the shuttle service to visit the sister hotel and private beach, well worth a visit.
The breakfast is superb and staff service outstanding.
I loved the location, and the layout of the apartment. It was small but had everything I needed to enjoy my stay in Portofino. There was a decent small grocery and cafe basically downstairs. Be warned that prices are high compared to other places in Italy due to tourists.
Definitely the best view on Portofino. This appartment is a pearl, I hope to come back next year!
Our host Oulid was helpful all the time and specially carried our luggage upstairs and downstairs and even to the bus station on our way back. Thank you Oulid!
Carlotta and Yuri were fantastic hosts. The location was perfect and peaceful but close enough to town to experience everything Portofino has to offer. Breakfast was delicious, room was clean and comfortable. We look forward to coming back whenever we can!
The property is in a great location just steps from the harbor on a quiet street. It had the best shower I’ve had in Italy (great water pressure and plenty of hot water). Check in and check out were very quick and easy.
